IMPROVEMENT I1N. CANT'HOOKS.

The Schedule referred to in than Letters Patent and making part of the lame.

Figure lis a side elevation cf a har and hook -of -my invention, and

Figure 2 is a. top view of the hook detached from the bar. l

A-designates an iron bar, pointed in any desired form, so as to be used for any style of crow-bar.

A portion, B, of the bar A is squared, as is generallyI the case Awith the o rdinary crow-bar.

C designates a socket or sleeve, of a proper size to fit the squared portion B of the bar A. An arm, a, projects from the 'socket C. to which arm is pivoted the hook D.`

A set-screw, b, secures the socket C upon the bar A, in any desired position, whereby the distance between the point of the bar and the hook can be increased or diminished by raising or lowering the socket C upon the bar A, thus adjusting tlie device so as to gripe objects of dierent sizes.

The whole device, thus arranged, is used as an o1'- dinarycant-hook for turning or moving heavy articles. When desired to use the bar for a crow-bar, the setscrew b can be loosened, and the socket and hook removed.

I claim as my invention- The combination of an ordinary iron crow-bar A, adjustable and removable socket-sleeve C, and the hook D, the whole combined and operating together, substantially as and forthe purpose described. 4
